What is sun protection?
Sun protection is the collective name for solutions that limit sun, heat, and bright light in and around your home. This includes screens, roller shutters, awnings, drop arm awnings, canopies, and conservatory sun protection. The most suitable sun protection depends on your window, facade, terrace, and usage. STERK helps you choose with personalized advice at home and clear explanations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Awnings
Which sun blinds are best for my home?
That depends on where you want to block heat or sun: window, patio, veranda, conservatory, or skylight. STERK assesses the position of the sun, the facade, and your usage at your home. For windows, external sun blinds are often effective because the heat is stopped before it reaches the glass.
What is the difference between indoor and outdoor blinds?
External solar shading blocks sunlight before the glass heats up. This usually makes it more effective against heat inside the house. Internal solar shading is primarily good for light control and ambiance. If your main goal is to reduce heat, we often recommend an external solution.
How much does custom sun protection cost?
The price depends on the type of sun protection, size, operation, fabric, installation, and accessibility. A window solution is different from sun protection for your patio or veranda. That's why we prefer to visit and make a fair offer based on your situation.
Can sun blinds be motorized?
Yes, many systems can be operated electrically with a remote control, switch or sensor. This is convenient for daily use, large screens or hard-to-reach places. Read more about the possibilities at electric awnings.
Is sun protection suitable for plastic frames?
Often, but installation requires extra attention. We prefer to assess the facade and construction rather than just drilling into the frame. For more explanation, you can refer to blinds for plastic window frames.
Which sun blinds help against heat in the attic?
In attic rooms, heat often enters through skylights. In such cases, external shading for skylights is often the most logical choice. Also check out our page on skylight shading.
Can STERK combine multiple types of sun blinds?
Yes. Sometimes one solution is enough, but for a home with windows, a terrace, and a conservatory, a combination might work better. We look at comfort per room and advise what is truly necessary. This way, you avoid separate choices that don't fit well together.
Does STERK blinds and screens offer in-home consultations?
Yes. We visit your home, take samples, inspect the facade, and discuss what suits your house best. That's precisely where STERK excels: personalized advice at home, clear communication, and installation by our own skilled technicians.
